Israel:  Jews saving Christians from Islam

Christians are being attacked, dispossessed, exiled and murdered all over the Middle East, and their churches, shrines and religious paraphernalia are being burned and destroyed throughout the region, all at the hands of Islamists (followers of Islam) acting in the name of Islam. Except for Israel, Christians in every single country and area in the Middle East, including Gaza and the West Bank, live in fear and trepidation and face constant heavy-handed persecution, subjugation, degradation and the threat of death.

The United States is a sovereign country…for now

The Congress of the United States and only the Congress of the United States is the sole legal authority that can grant approval and permission to a U.S. President to go to war, except in truly extraordinary circumstances. In other words, if an American President wants to use the United States military to go to war, he or she has to have the permission of Congress, unless there is some compelling reason to act quickly without Congressional approval and permission.

Obama failure makes attack inevitable

The meeting in Washington earlier this week between U.S. President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel had one very clear result. Obama failed to convince the Israelis that he would protect them if Iran developed and possessed nuclear weapons or that he would do anything meaningful to keep the Iranians from becoming a nuclear power in the first place, and Netanyahu refused to place Israel’s security and survival in his hands and reserved Israel’s right to take whatever action it deemed necessary to protect itself and keep the Iranians from launching a nuclear attack against Israel, which they would most assuredly do as soon as they were able to.

Israeli Apartheid Week an attack on freedom of speech and freedom of expression

Israeli Apartheid Week is being foisted on us once again.

Obama sings while America sinks

Under President Obama America is sinking economically, constitutionally, socially, militarily, morally, politically and spiritually. The problems the country faces are many and varied and extremely serious, and America and Americans are in grave danger on a wide variety of different fronts. The United States is in deep trouble everywhere you look and it is entirely possible that it might not be able to effect a turnaround and return to prosperity and glory, to its rightful historic place at the forefront of the free world. It's also entirely possible that it might not survive as a free, democratic nation, indeed might not survive at all.

The real reason why there is no peace between Palestinians and Israelis

The biggest hurdle blocking peace between Israelis and Palestinians is Islam. There will never be peace unless Palestinians and their fellow Arabs reject Islam and refuse to abide by its commandments regarding violence and Jews. Never.

More Iranian deceit

Iran has threatened to launch a preemptive strike if its enemies endanger its national interests. This is nonsense and one more example of Iranian deceit because Iran has always attacked its enemies. When has Iran not launched strikes against them? Never, that’s when.

Israel will have to attack Iran in 2012

Iran and its Islamic rulers are consumed by hatred of Jews, hatred of Israel and a diabolical desire to annihilate both, all in the name of Islam. A strategy specialist to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei named Alireza Forghani has just written a document laying out the legal and religious reasons why Iran is required by Islam to attack and annihilate Israel, to remove the country from the face of the earth and kill all the Jews living there. The document was published on a website with close ties to the Ayatollah, which means that the Government of Iran endorses its conclusions and will work, is working, to carry them out.

President Obama and his administration’s misplaced concern

President Obama and his administration are concerned that Israelis may launch a unilateral attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities in order to destroy them and thus prevent the Iranians from attacking Israel with nuclear weapons in an attempt to obliterate the country and remove it from the face of the earth, as they have pledged to do many many times. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta believes that Israel will attack within the next six months, possibly as early as April, because after that a successful unilateral attack will be much more problematic due to increased Iranian fortifications.

The Rule of Law or The Rule of Obama

Americans face many stark choices in the 2012 election for President but the starkest of all is whether or not they want their President to be bound by the Constitution and act within the law or to act as a dictator outside the bounds of the Constitution and the law. Given Obama’s behaviour and stated intentions, the choice cannot be more stark for Americans...do they want to live in a dictatorship with Obama as the dictator or do they want to live in a free country where their leader is accountable to the people and the country’s institutions and not to himself and his cronies?

Lies, Omissions and Delusions-Obama’s Loaded State Of The Union Speech

Virtually every speech President Obama makes is characterized by outright lies, delusions and/or convenient omissions. It has always been like this but the characteristic seems to be even more pronounced recently because of the upcoming presidential election, to me at least. The 2012 State Of The Union speech he just gave is a prime example and was marked by all three.

Israelis to Obama: We don’t trust you

Austere Challenge 12 was supposed to take place at the end of April and was going be the largest joint U.S./Israeli war game in history. The game was two years in the planning and was massive in size and scope and thousands of American military personnel and various U.S. missile defense systems were going to be deployed in Israel. To quote the Jerusalem Post “The drill was supposed to include the simulation of various missile defense scenarios with the objective of creating a high level of interoperability so that, if needed, US missile defense systems would be able to deploy in Israel and work with local defense systems during a future conflict.”

Obama and the New York Times

The New York Times long ago lost its reputation and status for reporting objectively on the events of the day. Its reporting is left wing and biased in the extreme and it has taken an uncritical, apologetic, unbalanced and totally supportive approach in its reporting on Obama and his actions, as but one example. However, it unwittingly indicted Obama in a story it just printed entitled “Iran Face-Off Testing Obama the Candidate” that was published in order to elicit sympathy for him because of the myriad difficult decisions he has to make as President and to show how these decisions may impact his chances for being re-elected in the upcoming 2012 Presidential election.

More Obama lies

President Obama’s lies to the American people are well-documented and far too numerous to list here. There simply isn’t enough space. Suffice it to say he has lied about every area of domestic and foreign policy there is, without exception, as he attempts to justify his bankrupt ideology and agenda and obvious failed policies to Americans...obvious to everyone except his cronies and fellow ideologues, that is. He has lied by commission and omission and his lies have been both spectacular and subtle.

2012 here we come

2012 is going to be one of the most significant, important years in living memory. Serious threats to the United States and the rest of the free world are many and varied and both will be under attack as never before.

Real Christmas story not being told

Every year at Christmas mainstream media all over the Western world run feel-good stories about Christians celebrating Christmas in Bethlehem. This year was no exception

Free speech and freedom of expression in peril in U.S.

Free speech and freedom of expression are the cornerstones of the American ideal and the American way of life. There can be no freedom and democracy without free speech and freedom of expression and the United States could not and would not exist as a free, democratic country without them. All of the other freedoms the U.S. is built on depend on them and without them freedom in America would no longer exist. They are the most basic, fundamental, essential building blocks of all and if they disappear in the United States freedom and democracy there disappear with them.

The Defining Issue

President Obama is the defining issue in the next election, not income disparity.

Groucho and me

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies. -- Groucho Marx. Occupy Wall Streeters look for trouble, find it everywhere, diagnose it incorrectly and want to apply the wrong remedies. -- Me.

Message to Occupy Wall Streeters is very clear

All over North America Occupy Wall Street tent camps are being dismantled and removed from public and private spaces, with very good reason. The tent camps camps are uniformly filthy and crime-ridden and have become eyesores and festering public health hazards. They are also full of hatred, bigotry, intolerance and misogyny.
